the weeknd is NOT hip hop….
Hip hop and R&B go hand and hand duh!
They do now, since you guys anointed Drake the king of rap
It’s a black thing you wouldn’t understand… Our people made those genres
If Drake is on top, That means Hip-Hop is over and isn’t relevant anymore.
only in your world
Hip-Hop and Black people are garbage. That’s good Drake is on the top of charts. I’m not even a Drake fan. Black people must die.
pray for this man
Black people are subhuman scum and should all die. I can’t stand Black people. Free speech.
the devil is a lie
Paul Jefferies helped write drakes first number 1… I can’t give him credit
I hate Drake. Hip-Hop music is trash.
It’s amazing how much Drake continues to accomplish. He’s truly an inspiration.
Macklemore are great, well done to drake though
